These are very intriguing sets of creatures.

I have others in my WIP, but the Moonsprite/Gorgon/Jengu is the most bizarre one, I have imagined.

I have three dragons in my story as well: A Dust Dragon, which tunnels underground and avoids daylight.   A Leviathan that takes its description from Job 41, Isaiah 27:1.  AND and a great red dragon which is a fire-breather and a winged specimen, that has slept for centuries in a high eyrie in the Walls of Stone Mountain range.  Each of these is a prince of the water, land, or air, and each has Earth origins in our Holy scriptures.  The Dust Dragon is the least obvious.

Are any of your creatures inspired by any particular mythology?
Do any of your creatures have a symbolic significance in your stories?

Trip with your Tannink’esh it seems the verses in Job 41 might fit:
By his neesings a light doth shine, and his eyes [are] like the eyelids of the morning. Out of his mouth go burning lamps, [and] sparks of fire leap out. Out of his nostrils goeth smoke, as [out] of a seething pot or caldron. His breath kindleth coals, and a flame goeth out of his mouth. … He maketh the deep to boil like a pot: he maketh the sea like a pot of ointment. He maketh a path to shine after him; [one] would think the deep [to be] hoary. [Job 41:18-21, 31-32 KJV]

What do you guys think the creature described in Job 41 really is?
